Vicki undertook a modified 30-day blogging challenge
near the beginning of January. It was her goal to write a blog post on
our website each non-holiday weekday this month. She succeeded in writing 23 posts in January. Here is the list of
articles since our last email newsletter.

A look at the past, present and
future of truck driving jobs and truck driver jobs -- and how you can
save money in your search for one.

Earn More, Save More

If you're a professional truck driver who is paid by the
mile, by the load, by the drop or any other performance measure -- and
the
recent winter storms affected not only your ability to travel but your
paycheck -- you know first-hand the
problems associated with trading
time
for money. Some truckers were stranded for two days (link) and others
were relieved to be off the road (link)
during the January 2014 storm! This week, another winter storm affected
the eastern USA.

We understand completely. We
documented how in December
2009, Mike
had to park his truck until
the weather cleared a bit from a winter storm. We've had to shut down
our truck numerous times over the years due to inclement weather.

Then there is our friend Charles. In addition to driving
a truck Monday through Friday, he also works on Saturdays and Sundays.
He works 7 days a week, but he can't get ahead financially. He's
burning
himself out and, frankly, he has no escape plan. Chances are good that
unless he makes a decision to change, he'll be stuck trading time for
money for the rest of his life.

What about you? Do you have something to fall back on in
case you're hurt on the job or forced
to retire from the trucking industry? Do you have a retirement
plan in place -- or are you winging it?
